Introduce your child to the basics of playing the cello. Year 1 introduces first position on the cello, basic bow strokes, dynamics, and other techniques. Photographs and diagrams illustrate how to hold the instrument, parts of the instrument, and correct fingering. Both you and your child can see what correct technique looks like. With this step-by-step process, learning the notes will be clear and fun. Each section will teach a different fingering in first position and will provide several different tunes to practice that fingering, helping your child achieve confidence. When a new fingering is learned, your child will also learn either a new bow technique or rhythm. How fun to know he is increasing in his abilities! Track B is offered for students with musical background, preferably grades 9-12, and is only available for purchase.
